Clayton Scott, the owner of American Drain Cleaners and a registered master plumber, built his business with inspiration from his grandfather. Since receiving his first Bridgeway loan in 2014, Clayton has returned multiple times as his business has grown; in 2025 he received his fifth Bridgeway loan. With this support, he has added three employees, purchased essential equipment, and a building. Clayton’s approach reflects a shared understanding that thoughtful, steady growth strengthens a business over time—creating stability, sustaining skilled local jobs, and delivering lasting value to the community.
